I am URM Hispanic, as my mother's mother is Hispanic. If that's not considered URM, then that's fine. You tell me what you think about that. I am also a California resident, which sucks.
Here are my qualifications. I know that my GPA is low, but I want to know where I can get with these stats. I am going to apply to many different schools (Both MD and DO), and I hope to get in somewhere. The schools I'm thinking about are:
*Touro School of Osteopathic Medicine in Vallejo, California (DO) (Dream)
*Touro School of Osteopathic Medicine in Nevada (DO)
*UCSF School of Medicine (MD) (Dream)
*Stanford School of Medicine (MD) (Dream)
*University of Nevada, Reno School of Medicine (MD)
*UC Davis School of Medicine (MD)
*University of Connecticut School of Medicine (MD)
*New York University (MD)
*UC Riverside School of Medicine (MD)
*University of Pikeville (DO)
*UC Irvine School of Medicine (MD) (Dream)
*Nova Southeastern University College of Osteopathic Medicine (DO)
*Loyola University School of Medicine (MD)
*Rosalind Franklin School of Medicine (MD)
*University of New England Osteopathic Medicine (DO)

1. How can I improve my application? I plan to apply in the early time frame.
2. What are my chances in each school that I listed above?
3. Should I take a year off and just improve my GPA?
4. Is all hope lost?
